Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 1

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition. 
He walked _______  his friends, but didn't notice them.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 1

The prepositions ‘on’ and ‘at’ are used to refer to a place. ‘On’ is used to speak about placing something on top of an object/surface, while ‘at’ denotes an exact spot/position. Since the sentence refers to 'his friends' and not a place/surface options A and B are incorrect. Similarly ‘against’ is used to denote contact with an object/surface. Therefore option D is incorrect. On the other hand, ‘past’ is used to highlight walking in front of someone or further than a place. In the given context, the person passes and walks in front of his friends, without noticing them. Thus option C is correct.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 2

Identify the type of preposition underlined in the following sentence:

He works with patience.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 2

Option B: 'Preposition of Cause' explains the cause of the action in a sentence. For example, 'He works for money'. Here, 'for' is the preposition that shows the cause of the action. As the given sentence doesn't explain any cause, we can't say that it is 'preposition of cause.' Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Preposition of Place' explains the place of the subject. For example, 'She lives in India.' As the given sentence doesn't explain place, we can't say that it is 'preposition of place'. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Preposition of Inference' doesn't exist. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A: 'Preposition of manner' explains how the action is done. As the given sentence explains that the action of 'working' was done 'with patience', we can easily conclude that it is the preposition of manner. Thus option A is the correct answer.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 3

Fill in the blank with the appropriate preposition:

____ food, we gave the poor some money.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 3

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words. Option (d) besides is correct as it means in addition to. The other options are wrong as  beside, among, and by mean next to, to each one in a group, and usage  respectively. These uses don't fit in the given question. The correct answer is (d) besides.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 4

Identify the type of preposition underlined in the following sentence:

You can borrow at an interest of ten per cent.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 4

Option A: 'Preposition of Place' explains the place of the subject or the object. The given sentence is about the rate and not the place of the object. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Preposition of Contrast' explains the contrasting words, clauses or ideas. For example, 'I like ice creams but I love chocolates.' As the given sentence has no contrasting clauses, 'of' is not a preposition of contrast. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Preposition of manner' explains how the action is done. For example, 'I waited with patience.' As the sentence has no word that describes manner, 'of' is not a preposition of manner here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B: 'Preposition of Rate or Measure' explains the price of a good or its measure. As 'of' explains the rate by explaining the percentage, it is a preposition of rate. Thus option B is the correct answer.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 5

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition. 
He had a photo of his family _______ the desk.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 5

The prepositions ‘on’ and ‘upon’ mean to place something over a surface. But ‘on’ is used to denote an object being placed on an inanimate surface while ‘upon’ means to climb on a moving object or thing. In the sentence, the desk is a surface ‘on’ which something is placed and not a moving object. Hence option A is correct, while option B is incorrect. On the other hand ‘of’ signifies belonging which is not the case here. The photo of his family doesn’t belong to the desk or originates from it. Thus option C is incorrect. Similarly ‘for’ is used to refer to the person/thing that something is intended for. The photo is not placed for the sake of the desk. Hence option D is incorrect. 

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 6

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I'm __________ home.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 6

The correct answer is Option C.
AT is used when we refer to a specific position. Here we are referring to HOME. Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Options A and B are refer to a position that is on the surface of something.
Option D- FRO is used with the word 'to' i.e. 'to and fro' and it indicates motion.
Hence Option C is the correct answer.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 7

Name the part of speech of the underlined word in the following sentence:
The cat jumped off the chair.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 7

A prepositon is a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause. In the given sentence 'off' expresses the relation between the verb 'jumped' and the noun 'chair'. Hence option D is the correct answer.
Options A, B and C are incorrect because an 'adjective' is a word that names the attribute of a noun, a 'noun' is simply a naming word and a 'verb' is an action word. 'Off' does not fit into the definitions of these parts of speech.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 8

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
This is the photo ________ my family.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 8

The correct answer is Option C.
The word OF is used to show relation or possession between two things. In the given sentence, there  is a relation established between the photo and the speaker's family. Hence, Option C - OF is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because because they are all words used to denote position.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 9

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition. 
The kids ran _______ the classroom when it started to rain.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 9

The preposition ‘in is used to refer to being surrounded by a building or place, whereas ‘inside’ is used while denoting the movement from outside to an enclosed space. In the given sentence the kids are moving from outside the classroom into the class, because of the rain. Therefore option C is correct whereas option A is incorrect. On the other hand ‘over’ is used to speak about being in contact with a surface. The class is not a surface/object on top of which the kids can run. Hence option D is incorrect. Whereas ‘with’ is used to denote a tool or company, which is not the case here. Therefore option B is incorrect.

Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 10

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I'm ___________ New York.

Detailed Solution for Test: Prepositions- 1 - Question 10

The correct answer is Option A.
The word IN is used when we refer to a place in general. There is only reference to New York in the given sentence. Hence IN is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option B: FOR is used to refer to 'use', 'time' or 'reason'.
Option C: AT is used to refer to a specific place.
Option D: OF is used to establish a relation between two things or people.
Hence Option A is the correct answer.
